Elevating Battery Health Estimation

How Can We Better Estimate the Health State of EV Batteries?

In the realm of electric vehicles (EVs), the safety, reliability, and efficiency of battery usage stand as pillars of innovation. Yet, predicting the state of health (SoH) of batteries remains a formidable challenge, hindered by the unpredictable nature of vehicle operations, diverse user behaviors, and variations among battery cells. Our recent study introduces a groundbreaking data-driven multimodal fusion method designed to master these challenges, propelling us toward unparalleled accuracy in SoH estimation.

Key Highlights:

• Comprehensive Scenarios: We dissect the complexity of EV operations into six distinct scenarios, tailoring feature sets for each to represent the SoH accurately.
• Machine Learning at Its Finest: Leveraging four cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, we meticulously train models on time-series data, each shedding light on different facets of SoH estimation.
• Next-Level Predictions: Drawing from previous innovations, we incorporate a histogram data-based and online adaptive model capable of foreseeing the next-step SoH.
• Fusion for Precision: By applying a Kalman filter, we synergize the outputs of all models, ensuring the refined accuracy and reliability of our estimates.
